Seems they'd be better off just gathering data from existing speedtest networks. But speed isn't the only issue they should be looking at. If the government really wants to make significant, long-term improvements to the national network infrastructure, it also needs to be encouraging deployment of multicast and IPv6 to the end-user.

Hmm, although it lists a number of FAR clauses but it seems none of them reference the new requirements for IPv6:
